How long will pheromones last on skin, bottle, car, closet, shelf, etc?
Average lifespan of any and all pheromones has a shelf life of three years. Extremes of heat and/or cold can damage the mones. Direct sunlight is also mentioned as a potential for damage by community members. Many members, including myself, have left pheromone bottles in the center console of our cars for extended periods without noticeable damage or decreased effectiveness. While it is not recommended it is plausible that at some time it will happen. I live in Memphis TN where the inside heat of my car has reached well over 200 degrees on a hot summer day. Again not recommended but I’ve never noticed any difference in effectiveness.
I like to carry to go bottles of products for easy application in the car before I enter a venue if my drive takes a while to get me there. Please keep in mind that pheromones are natural “odors” and can infuse themselves into materials, such as car rugs, upholstery. As such I usually tend to keep the nozzle close to my skin so as to not mist the entire car, thus creating a smelly car.
Most alcohol based pheromone products have a life of about 2-6 hours depending on the product. Heavier molecules like androsteNONE (-NONE) can last 12 hours or longer. Products like Instant Shine is usually on the low end and for me lasts about 2-4 hours.
Oil based A314 lasts about 6-8 with the very best exposure at around 4-5 hours.
All pheromone products depend on environmental variables such as heat or chill of the venue. Pheromones diffuse quicker in hot environments so if its warm and humid, much like Memphis, TN, their effectiveness can be greatly diminished much quicker. In a cooler climate they will last longer.
You do not need to store your pheromones in any special containers, or in the fridge 
. I keep mine on a book shelf in my room and have had some since early 2007, that as far as I can tell, have not lost any effectiveness. Most of those are empty now though and I have new stuff.
Hope this helps
